It is fine on i386 though, which is what most people use. As per usual,
AMD64 gets secondary treatment, as usplash did support higher
resolutions on AMD64 early in the Edgy development cycle. At a later
point in the cycle, usplash didn't work at all. So instead of fixing
the code to work on AMD64, they disabled the higher resolution code on
AMD64, and we are left with this abomination.
